The ring must be passed over the blue line to another teammate. That teammate is permitted to skate ahead of the ring carrier and already be across the blue line before the ring crosses it. If the ring lands in or on the crease, the only player who can touch it is the goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper usually picks up the ring and throws it to a teammate. The goalie has five seconds to pass it out of her crease. Players have 30 seconds to take a shot on net. Teams have 30 seconds to take a shot on goal after they gain possession of the ring. If time runs out on the shot clock, a buzzer sounds and the other team is awarded the ring. In the offensive zones the game is played 3 on 3. You will notice the free play lines small red line at the top of the circles on the ice. Players can rotate in and out of the free play zones producing a lot of movement and creativity.

But this is where the comparisons between ringette and hockey really end. The stick is straight. The object being pursued by the players is a rubber ring, not a puck. There is no intentional body contact. And the rules of ringette make it a wide-open and dynamic sport. The emphasis is on play-making and skating skills. Players cannot carry the ring across the blue lines on the ice.
Only three players from each team, plus the defending goalie, are allowed in the end zones at the same time, which keeps the play open, puts a premium on sharp offensive moves, and requires defending players to skate close to their opponents.
These features of the game demand the development of keen skating skills that give ringette players fantastic skating speed and agility. If a goaltender throws the ring across the blue line, a delayed violation is signalled. The goaltender may use their stick to pass the ring over the blue line. Ringette Line The red line at the top of the defensive circles is called the Ringette Line. Only 3 players from each team, plus the defending goaltender, are permitted into the restricted areas.
Exceptions include:. If the violation is non-intentional, the team in violation will lose possession of the ring and have it granted to the non-offending team. If the violation is deemed intentional, a delay of game penalty is assessed rare. If an intentional violation occurs in the last 2 minutes of the game, a penalty shot is awarded instead. The crease is essentially an invisible wall from ice to ceiling located in front of the goal mouth and defined by a red semi circle on the ice.
Goaltenders are the only players permitted in the crease. If a member of the team with ring possession violates the crease with a stick, skate, arm, etc. If any member of the non-possession team violates the crease, their team cannot touch the ring for five seconds counted by the referee , or possession of the ring is given to the other team. When the ring enters the crease, the goaltender then has five seconds to throw, pass with stick, deflect, or push the ring out to another player.
If the goalie does not pass it within five seconds, the ring is awarded to the other team for a free pass from one of the defensive free play circles. The goalie may use the stick to touch the ring outside the crease, and can also pass through the crease, but may not pull it into the crease unless pull it all the way through and out with one motion. Otherwise, this results in a loss of possession, and a penalty if she has already been given a warning.
The goalie may not pick up or cover the ring with her glove outside the crease. The goalie can push the ring with a hand when outside the crease, as can any other player. The team in possession of the ring has 30 seconds to shoot, it is not always played this way with the younger girls U12 , or it gives up possession to the other team.
The shot clock is only applied in competitive levels, starting at the petite level 10 to A violation is a minor penalty called for violations of game play rules, usually due to improper movement or handling of the ring. Common violations include entering the crease, touching the ring on either side of the blue line, four players in the zone and 2 blue line passes.
If a violation is committed by the team in possession of the ring, play is stopped immediately. The ring is awarded to the opposing team in the zone the violation occurred. If the team in violation touches the ring within that time period, play is stopped and the violation is assessed. If the count expires, the violation is dropped and play continues. Play resumes immediately when the goaltender receives the ring.
Time is not provided for teams to perform line changes as can be done on a free pass, although on-the-fly changes are permitted as in normal play. Penalties in ringette have the same concept as in hockey, with the notable exception that less body contact is allowed, and fighting has a zero-tolerance policy. Penalties are of the following classes:. Also, players can receive two penalties at the same time for a combination of four or more minutes.
When a penalty is assessed against the goalie, a teammate on the ice at the time of the offence must serve it. If the team not in control of the ring commits a penalty, play is not stopped until the penalized team gains control. This is called a delayed penalty.
A minor penalty is nullified if a goal is scored during the delay, unless penalties of equal class were called on both teams. While the penalty is delayed, the attacking team can add a sixth skater to the ice by pulling their goalie. This player can enter the play zone as the 4th attacker.
A team can work off at most two penalties at a time. If a team commits a third penalty, the penalized player sits in the penalty box, but her interval does not start until the first of the other penalties expires and so forth if there are more penalties. A team plays with a minimum of three skaters on the ice, regardless of the number of penalties. If freeing a player from the penalty box would give the team more players on the ice than it is entitled to such as when the team is down to three attackers, but there are two other players in the penalty box , she will not be freed until a whistle stops play.
During the stoppage, the team must remove one player from the ice to return to its proper strength. A team with two penalties can have only two players instead of the usual three in its defensive zone. But if a third person is active in the defensive zone while two man down a third penalty will be called.
All three players may enter the offensive zone. The ringette facemask is much like a hockey one except the bars are spaced so that the end of a ringette stick cannot enter the mask. Sticks are flexible and lightweight to bend without breaking.
